I think this is a great second book. Its completely different from The Timetravelers Wife, so comparison would be silly. There are a lot of characters and plots that intertwine. I thought it was worth the exposition. The narrator does a nice job.
I enjoyed this book. I occasionally like to be a little scared and creeped out by a story and this book was just the ticket. The characters were interesting, even though not very endearing. I enjoyed the author's manner of describing people, places, events as the story unfolded. It was not overly complicated- an easy read - but had lots of good food for thought.
